Intended for cemented and uncemented applications ## Device Story Modular hip prosthesis system consisting of ArComXL polyethylene acetabular liners and Biolox delta ceramic femoral heads; intended for total hip arthroplasty. Ceramic head attaches to metallic femoral stem via Biomet Type I taper; highly polished spherical head articulates with polyethylene liner. Used in orthopedic surgery for joint replacement; provides bearing surface for hip joint. Benefits include reduced wear compared to previous components; facilitates treatment of degenerative joint disease, fractures, and revision cases. System allows combination of previously cleared components. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. Bench testing included volumetric wear testing showing reduced wear for the combined ArComXL and Biolox delta components. ## Technological Characteristics ArComXL liners: highly cross-linked polyethylene (ASTM F648). Biolox delta heads: Transition-Toughened-Platelet-Alumina (TTPA) ceramic. Modular design; Biomet Type I taper connection. Cemented or uncemented application. ## Regulatory Identification A hip joint metal/ceramic/polymer semi-constrained cemented or nonporous uncemented prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted to replace a hip joint. This device limits translation and rotation in one or more planes via the geometry of its articulating surfaces. It has no linkage across-the-joint. The two-part femoral component consists of a femoral stem made of alloys to be fixed in the intramedullary canal of the femur by impaction with or without use of bone cement. The proximal end of the femoral stem is tapered with a surface that ensures positive locking with the spherical ceramic (aluminium oxide, A12 03 ) head of the femoral component. The acetabular component is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene reinforced with nonporous metal alloys, and used with or without bone cement. ## Predicate Devices - ArComXL Acetabular Liners ([K042051](/device/K042051.md)) - Biolox delta Ceramic Heads ([K042091](/device/K042091.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

cemented prosthesis (888.3353) | | Substantially Equivalent Devices: | ArComXLTM Acetabular Liners (K042051)
Biolox® delta Ceramic Heads (K042091) | | Device Description: | The ArComXLTM polyethylene liners are manufactured from highly cross-
linked polyethylene conforming to ASTM F648 that was previously cleared in
K042051. ArComXLTM is available in three designs: MaxRom, Hi-Wall, and
10o. | | | Biolox® delta Ceramic Heads (K042091) are composed of Transition-
Toughened-Platelet-Alumina (TTPA). The highly polished spherical surface
articulates with the ArComXLTM polyethylene liner acetabular component.
The modular head attaches to a metallic femoral stem with a Biomet Type I
taper. | | Indications for Use: | 1) Non-inflammatory degenerative joint disease including osteoarthritis and
avascular necrosis, 2) Rheumatoid arthritis, 3) Correction of functional
deformity 4) Treatment of nonunion, femoral neck and trochanteric
fractures of the proximal femur with head involvement, unmanageable
using other techniques, 5) Revision of previously failed total hip
arthroplasty. | | | Intended for cemented and uncemented applications | | Summary of Technologies: | The design, sizes, intended use, indications, contraindications, and
design specifications of the subject components remain identical to
their predicate component counterparts. This submission allows the
ArComXLTM Acetabular Liners and the Biolox® delta Ceramic Heads
to be used together. | | Non-Clinical Testing: | Volumetric wear testing was performed on ArComXLTM Acetabular Liners
and the Biolox® delta Ceramic Liners showing less wear. | | Clinical Testing: | None provided as a basis for substantial equivalence. | All trademarks are property of Biomet, Inc. {1}------------------------------------------------ DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/1/Picture/2 description: The image is a black and white seal for the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.
